Cases “Lycksele”

We can separately describe the upholstery of these sofas and armchairs. A cover is what worries many people in the first place, because the interior of the room as a whole depends on it, as well as the ease of use of furniture for relaxation and sleep.

  • The Lycksele cover is removable; it fits on this sofa and chair only when folded.
  • As it wears out or if you want to change the colors of the interior, the cover can be purchased separately at Ikea stores.
  • Upholstery colors: plain turquoise, gray, white, as well as black and white diamonds.
  • The cover is made of natural cotton with polyester padding. It can be washed or dry cleaned, which is certainly very convenient.

The models differ in their folding mechanism, price, materials, but there is also a common feature - the constant quality that Ikea guarantees.

NameDimensionsDescription
BaccabruArmchair: 95x80x82 cm
Seat depth: 61 cm

Bed: 80x193 cm

The classic look of a folding chair bed. Unlike the other two models, there are armrests. The mechanical part of the structure is hidden. Due to the type of transformation, there are two transverse folds on the berth. By default, the kit comes with a medium-hard mattress.
Ikea PSArmchair: 88хх110х88 cm
Seat depth: 70 cm

Bed: 88x205 cm

The series is made in high-tech design. The transformation mechanism uses the accordion principle: the front part moves forward, pulling the back behind it. A tangible plus is an almost flat sleeping area with the exception of a fold in its lower part. This arrangement does not affect the quality of sleep and the orthopedic properties of the mattress.
LyckseleArmchair: 80x100x87 cm
Seat depth: 60 cm

Bed: 80x188 cm

Lycksele's design adheres to the Art Nouveau style, with its inherent minimalism. The model does not have wheels or side rails. It has an orthopedic mattress, making it suitable for daily use. Thanks to the latex filling, the sleeping place completely follows the contours of the body, which promotes proper rest.

The compact chair-bed easily turns into a comfortable single bed.

How to choose the right folding chair-bed in Ikea

Buying an Ikea chair-bed is the right decision. In addition to the high quality of products, potential buyers are attracted by a wide range and affordable prices.


Wear-resistant polyester cover with expressive texture.

The choice of a suitable folding chair model depends on the method of purchase. Most goods are purchased through the online store, but there are also regular sales points located in major cities of the country.

An armchair-bed, like a sofa bed, appears in living rooms in cases where there are not enough ordinary sleeping places for all the inhabitants of the home.

First of all, you need to decide on the model of the chair. The decision depends on the intended placement of this type of furniture in the room. Thus, Baccabru models have wide armrests, which is why they are not suitable for narrow spaces. Lycksele or PS, on the contrary, will “fit” well into a narrow corridor or will be successfully located on a small balcony; such a chair-bed is perfect for children. Ikea PS is more mobile due to the presence of wheels, but is slightly wider than Lycksele.


Provides the necessary uniform support for the body.


Such furniture, no matter how much it is praised, is a forced decision due to limited space.


Elastic single-layer polyurethane foam mattress of medium hardness for daily use.

Most furniture at Ikea is bought piecemeal. When purchasing a chair-bed, you will have to select the following elements:

  • frame;
  • mattress;
  • case.


The top latex layer allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature.


Lining: Polyester wadding, Non-woven polypropylene.

The choice of mattress depends on the purpose of the chair and your own preferences. Available in soft, medium and hard options.


The mattress fabric is made of cotton and polyester.

The range of cases is quite wide. There are several types of colors and textures. They are selected individually, depending on the interior of the room in which the chair will be located.

The fabric is dense, it will not come out soon.

New catalog items and popular models

Ikea offers chairs that, when laid out, form sleeping areas of different lengths. Of course, models where the bed is larger are more popular. These are products from the Ikea/PS series, which are also distinguished by their original design.

  • Not only are the chairs mobile, the rollers and the folding mechanism are not only not hidden, but are also demonstrated, turning into an original design detail. This approach is most consistent with the minimalist concept, so Ikea/PS chair-beds are the clear leaders.
  • The new Ikea catalog for 2016 offers improved modifications of the series chair-beds. They are called sofas, since a seat with a width of more than 140 cm is conventionally classified as a double one. However, on a wide chair without armrests and with a soft back, it is so comfortable to climb up with your feet and recline that not every fan of comfort will agree to share his sofa with someone else.
  • Just like in a single chair, the accordion layout mechanism provides a flat sleeping area with only one seam. But the dimensions please him: 140*188 cm for Lycksele Levos, and 160*205 cm for Levos.
  • New variants of covers also attract attention: a very original cover made of fabric with a large checkered pattern.

Description of the series “Lycksele”

The Swedish company Ikea creates very functional furniture. So, even in one “Lycksele” series, you can replace the mattress or cover to your taste, and the sofa and armchair itself can easily be turned into a full-fledged place to sleep.

The name “Lycksele” belongs to both the sofa and the armchair, which transforms into a bed. In the first version it can accommodate two people, in the second - only one.

An important point: it is possible to additionally purchase boxes for storing linen under “Lycksele”. This will perfectly save space in a small room and will not clutter it up.
